Effect of Burnout Syndrome on Job Satisfaction and Mental Wellbeing of Employees

Burnout syndrome has emerged as a significant concern in modern workplaces, affecting employees' job satisfaction and overall mental well-being. This study investigates the impact of burnout syndrome on job satisfaction and mental health among employees using a quantitative research approach. Data was collected from 153 employees through a structured Google Form questionnaire. Statistical analyses, including regression and correlation tests, were conducted to examine the relationships between burnout, job satisfaction, and mental well-being. The findings indicate a significant negative impact of burnout on both job satisfaction and mental health, with higher burnout levels correlating with decreased satisfaction and psychological distress. Regression analysis confirms that burnout significantly predicts variations in job satisfaction and mental well-being. The study supports previous research, such as Zorec (2008), which highlights occupational stress and job satisfaction as key predictors of burnout. Based on the results, organizations are encouraged to implement effective employee well-being strategies, stress management programs, and supportive workplace policies to mitigate burnout and enhance job satisfaction. The study concludes with recommendations for further research to address its limitations and explore industry-specific variations in burnout and job satisfaction.
